            Bug ID: 121907
           Summary: UI: Input fields (especially numbers) are too smart
                    (value checking after each key)
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.2.0.0.beta1+
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: Impress
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: Marcel.Waldvogel at uni-konstanz.de

Description:
Some entry fields validate their input after every key press and limit the
input range. This interferes with the user typing and annoys the user or causes
wrong input.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select an object in edit mode
2. Go the the animation tab
3. Click on "+" to add a new animation for that object
4. Select "Fade in" as the effect
5. Try to change the duration from the (default) "2.00 sec" to "0.5 sec" by
selecting all and then typing "0.5" and hitting return.

Actual Results:
The actual result is "0.55 sec"

Expected Results:
"0.50 sec" (or, even better, "0.50 s", see below)


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
This happens because already on typing the first char, "0", the number is
changed to "0.50 sec". Not only is this annoying, it also interferes with
further typing. 

If I remember correctly, I have also seen this behavior in other fields.

The SI unit for "second" is "s". It would be nice to fix this as well while at
it.
